For folks looking to help those affected by the storm that blew through NC, Triangle Mutual Aid is doing great work. Their Venmo and Cashap are both TriangleMutualAid. If you want to Venmo me at nicole-barnard-5, I'll give anything I get to local businesses in need.

Any shares would be wonderful❤️

It’s release day!

The paperback of A Sky So Hollow and confetti graphics are shown. Text reads “Out Now! Available in Kindle Unlimited and paperback. Audiobook is coming!”

The paperback of a Sky So Hollow is pictured against a starry sky. Text reads “Really stuck the landing. Heartfelt, intense, full of love, monsters, and very human characters.”

White text is against a blue starry background. The text reads “what early readers are saying:
Montgomery’s writing style continues to be sharp and emotionally moving”
— Emily on Storygraph

“For all my annotators out there, get your highlighters ready. There are so many gems you'll want to keep coming back to.”
— Adrienne on Goodreads

“Montgomery does a wonderful job further carving out the facets of his well-developed characters, while gripping the reader's attention with high stakes, intense action sequences, and high concept magic system.”
— Taylor on Goodreads”

How about some SFF Book Recommendations for Mental Health Awareness Month because Mental Health representation matters, and sometimes it is within the most fantastical of pages that we feel the most understood! What are some of your favorite books with MH rep?

The book cover for A Sky So Hollow by Craig Montgomery. The figures of two men and a woman are shrouded in stardust and shadows over a gleaming pyramid with the image of an eye in its center. The text of the title is gold and the background colors of the cover are teal and purple. A header tag line reads “There is a monster in us all.”
